Looking into the interior of Ivan Ilych Home in the late 19Th century:

Design ideas using the inspiration of hands as candle holders:
a quick sketch showing two separate designs of candle holders
One is of two hand praying holding a candle in between
Could be made using polystyrene and paper mache ? Praying significant to death ?
the other shows hands clenching a candle ( i found similar designs that can be brought these are ceramic candle holders image above nerdapproved.com )
